I was “sick” yesterday, did I miss anything important?
Whew. Yesterday was a busy day, and I don’t mean with work. I got zero actual work done. Nope, yesterday I signed my new lease. I’ll be moving 10 miles to the northeast by east. So I spent the entire morning dealing with that. And the afternoon was spent waiting in a doctor’s office. Not a pleasant experience; plus I get to go back on Monday. Woohoo.
What did I miss. Not much. Sheril Kirshenbaum is still talking about biofuels. Yet as Joe Romm has pointed out, biofuels are not a long-term solution. Joe Brewer at Celsias talks about building a solar city. Frank Bi continues his exposition into the conspiracy theory conspiracy. And GLOBE looked at whether there were trends in temperatures measured by students.
Enough of that. I’m moving 10 miles away, aren’t I concerned about my carbon footprint? Not really. During the winter, when it’s not a million degrees outside, I plan on riding a bike. And during the summer, when it is a million degrees outside, the bus will transport me to work. I suppose riding the bus raises my carbon footprint a little… but they’d still be running even if I didn’t ride them, so I’m counting it as carbon neutral.

Darn doctors.
Hope the move goes well, and that you soon recover from whatever the quack eventually decides you probably have.
I checked Kirshenbaum’s site and it’s a fair analysis IMHO.

She’s speaking sense.
